A Romantic Wedding at Liberty House | Mikayla & Max

When we met with Mikayla and Max for our initial consult they made two things clear- they didn’t want to do a first look and they really  wanted to just focus on having a good time on their wedding day. Our laid back, candid approach to photography was the perfect match for their wedding at Liberty House. We focused more on moments and spent less time on posed photography.

Mikayla and Max’s wedding was at the Liberty House located in Jersey City. The Liberty House, located along the Hudson River, offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. For this couple, it was the perfect backdrop for them and their guests. Their outdoor ceremony featured the NYC skyline, creating a picturesque setting for their vows. As the skyline lit up after sunset, the celebration moved indoors and the party was non stop all night.
